Death of John Hughes.
John Hughes died at his home in
Scranton on Thursday last, Dec. 24, 1908,
aged eighty-four years. He was born in
County Cavan, Ulster, Ireland, in 1824,
and came to this country with his moth
er's family, when quite young, his
father having previously died. He laid
the foundation for his superior educa
tion in Ireland, and completed his
studies in Ellenville, Ulster couuty, N.
Y., near which place the family settled
on a farm. After completing his scho
lastic course he engaged in teaching and
followed thatcalling until the breaking
out of the civil conflict, when ho enlist-.
ed in Co. F, 102d (regiment N. Y. Vol-1
unteers, in New York city, and served
during the war as a private. On being
mustered out of the service he came to
To guard new-bora infanta against
that terrible misfortune, blindness
State Health Commissioner Dixon has
revived a state law passed some years
ago for Just this object, but never en
forced to any ertcnt This law, passed
June 16, 18B, Is entitled "An act for
the prevention of blindness, Imposing
a duty upon all midwlves, nurses or
other persons having the care of in
fants, and also upon the health officer,
and fixing a penalty for neglect there
of,
Dr. Dixon declared today "that if the
provisions of this law are carried out
there is reason to hope that one-third
of the cases of blindness which so
groatly' diminishes the productive
value of the individual and too often
renders him a burden on society may
be prevented."
Letter to Physicians.
To ten thousand physicians through
out Pennsylvania Health Commission
er Dixon is sending the following letter:
"You are probably aware of the fact
that the American Medical association
at its last annual meeting authorized
the Issue of the report of the commit
tee on ophthalmia neonatorum, which
forcibly called attention to the fact
that a very large percentage of the
cases of blindness which the state lo
called upon to support is caused by
that disease, and urged the necessity
for organized and concerted effort on
the part of the profession in, all of the
states of the Union to diminish this
evil. That this appeal is most timely is
sufficiently indicated by a,,, recent re
port from the Pennsylvania School for
the Blind, 'which shows that in the
past eight years more than one-third
of the persons admitted to that insti
tution have owed their affliction to
this cause,
"This department has. therefore
thought it desirable to revive a law
which has for many years lalndor
mant on our statute books, and a copy
or wmcn is norewitn enclosed
"Inasmuch, however, as t, doubt the
wisdom of entrusting the treatment of
so delicate an orean as the eye to un
skilled hands, I have appended to the
law Instructions making it the duty
of the health officer to urge those in
charge to secure the service's of a phy
sician at the earliest possible moment
after the discovery of the disease, and
have suggested a harmless cleansing
solution to be used until such time as
the physician could arrive and initiate
the active treatment for which the
nitrate of sliver or some other silver
salt will probably be deemed most ef
fective. May I hope for your assist
ance in carrying out this plan for dl
mtnishing a fertile cause of misery
and disability?"
Instructions to Health Officers

sent to each of its 730 township health

this notice moved to Siko, in Oregon

farm, living there for twenty-five years,

of New York city, Mrs. Martha Nolan,
of Scranton; Simon, living in Connecti

family came to Honesdale in 1880, pur
chasing a houso and lot justnorth of the
borough. There his wife died a few
years ago from the effects of burns re

in the yard. A portion of this lot he
sold to the German Catholic congrega

the part retained being in his possession
at the time of his death. Three of his
sons who had worked here at the glass
cutting trade decided two years ago to
accept positions in Scranton, and Mr.
Hughes went with them to that city. His
health began to fail some time since and
lie finally succumbed to acute indiges

State Health Commissioner Dixon
has also requested the department's
medical Inspector In every county in

in the discharge of the duty assigned
them. A letter has also been written
to the secretary of every city, borough

Plashing, N. Y., Dec. 29. Mrs. Hains,
the gray haired mother of Thornton
Jenkins Hains, created a pathetic scene
today in Justice Crane's court at the
trial of her son for abetting Captain
Hains in the murder of William E. An
nls. It was the second time since the
tragedy that the grief stricken mother
had an opportunity to see her son, and
they embraced after she reached the
rail. For several minutes Mrs. Hains
remained with one arm around the
nock of her son, crying bitterly and
pressing the defendant to her.
Most ot the men In the jury seemed
to be deeply affected by the spectacle
of Mrs. Hains' grief. Several ot them
used their handkerchiefs to wipe away
moisture on their own cheeks.
John Tlcrney, the street cleaning de
partment collector, who was on eye
witness to the tragedy, again took the
stand today. He declared that Cap
tain Hains bad ceased firing before his
brother ran down to the float and that
Thornton Hains did not draw his re
volver until Charles Roberts, a club
member, advanced toward Captain
Hains with the captain's revolver in
hid hand.
Tlerney said that Thornton Hains did
not point his revolver at nny one on
the float, but called for an officer to
arrest his brother.
Tlerney said ho went to the Baysldo
Yacht club on Aug. 13 to collect some I
money for removing garbage and went !
down to tho float to see Mr. Leavitt.
"I saw the boat coming in and saw
Captain Hains go toward the boat,"
said Tlerney. "He stooped down and
grabbed the boom and commenced
shooting. The shots were all fired In
a jiffy. After the shooting I saw 'Big
John' grab the captain and shake him.
I don't know whether he knocked the
gun from the captain's hands or not.
I saw Mr. Roberts go and get the gun.
"I saw the defendant run down the
runway after the 'shooting and lead
him away. The defendant didn't draw
his gun until Roberts came over to the
captain. Thornton Hains said: 'This
Is, my brother. I'll take care of him.
Get a policeman.' "
"Did you 'see Mrs. Annis on the float
at the time of the shooting?"
"No. I didn't see any woman on the
float."
Tlerney said that he remained on the
float about five minutes nnd was or
dered away. Tlerney said that the de
fendant made none of the nllcged dec
larations, "The flrst man to move will
set the same."
"Did the defendant put the pistol to I
the back of any woman on tho float?" !
"He did not."
Tlerney said he thought it was about j
a minute after the shooting finished j
that Thornton Hains ran down the I
runway. Counsel desired to time the
witness as to the period that elapsed i
from the time of the last shot to when
the defendant was seen running down
the runway, and Justice Crane directed
the witness to hold his hand up and
keep it there the length of the period
which, counsel desired to know. The
witness held his hand up six seconds.
